7 Myths About Rigor

   When a teacher says that something wasn't rigorous enough it means that you need to do more. For many people the best indicator of rigor is the amount of homework required of students. Rigor is not another thing to add to your plate. Instead, rigor is increasing the level of expectation of what you are already doing. For example, the teacher can add this into curriculum in reading. The student will be expected to answer the question only; but if you want the student to be more rigorous then after they answer the question then you can make them state why they chose that answer and to elaborate on it.
